Once upon a time this blog was about a maniac gone awry and the interesting things she found and did. Then it became a blog detailing my life in China for a year. I tried to maintain it when I returned Stateside, and I did for a while, but I found life wasn't nearly as exciting. After much thought, I went back to China - this time for almost 3 years and you'll find several posts about that adventure. Now I am back in the good ole US of A(indefinitely) and my blog is mostly about how horrible of a writer I am because no one will publish my stories. I occasionally talk about my side projects - my audiobooks and the things I cook/bake up in the kitchen. And maybe one day it will be about being a mom because I can now share that experience. Who knows where this blog(or me for that matter) will be in five years, but I'll try to keep it entertaining.
An old picture, but I still think it is sorta cute. They each represent one of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Some are easier to figure out than others.
I should really probably go back to this place. It’s the Shanghai Brand and Matchbox Label Museum. We happened upon it walking around looking for food a long time ago, near our old apartment. I guess this would be the place to go if you fancied matchboxes.
Nothing says yum like spiced donkey meat. What some? I’ve never had any myself, but up north they had tons of restaurants that severed it. No one I’ve known has eaten it, so I don’t have an idea what it tastes like.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen flowers like this before. I think they are really pretty with the small flowers in the middle and the larger flowers circling them.
